“A Wom an’s Place: Gender and Misogyny on the Extreme Right”

On every measure we have available—rising propaganda, numbers of hate groups and hate crimes, violent plots foiled by the FBI, terrori st violence and deaths, and hate crimes, the past decade has seen expone ntial growth in the far right. There has been a flurry of attention to t he root causes and potential strategies to interrupt and prevent the vio lence (congressional hearings, a White House summit, policy reports, etc .), but there has been little formal attention paid to the gendered dime nsions of violent extremism. Cynthia Miller-Idriss argues that gender an d misogyny are foundational to the extreme right and its violent outcome s, exploring some of the ways women challenge and support these modes of thinking.
